Arkansas pitcher Zack Morris hugs catcher Michael Turner after recording the final out of a 3-2 victory over Ole Miss at the College World Series on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, in Omaha, Neb.

OMAHA, Neb. — Few words were needed and few were spoken when left-handed pitcher Zack Morris entered with the bases loaded and Arkansas’ season on the line Wednesday night at Schwab Field.

“You ready?” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said, according to Morris.

“Yes, sir,” Morris replied.

“That was it,” Morris said. “Plain and simple.”

Two days after Morris failed to make it out of the first inning of a start against Ole Miss at the College World Series, he redeemed himself by limiting the Rebels to one run in the ninth inning of the Razorbacks’ 3-2 victory in a must-win game.
